   That would work, and is certainly the easiest, since you can bulk-load
the DID -> extension maps via external CLI commands with a simple script.

   You could also have Asterisk do MySQL dips for this information, if the
desire is to administer it from a web-based front-end.  Or if there is
some sort of mathematical relationship between the extension and the DID
range, the dialplan interpreter itself is capable of fairly sophisticated
mathematical extrapolations.
